As a user of ChatGPT, you now have more control over your data and how it is used to train our models. We are committed to transparency and giving you the tools to manage your data in a way that makes you feel comfortable.
Turn Off Chat History
One of the new features we’ve introduced is the ability to turn off chat history. This means that conversations started when chat history is disabled won’t be used to train and improve our models, and won’t appear in the history sidebar. You can find these controls in ChatGPT’s settings, and you can change them at any time.
How Does it Work?
When you turn off chat history, we will still retain new conversations for 30 days. We review this data only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting it. This way, you have control over your data, and we’re committed to protecting your privacy.
The Benefits of Turning Off Chat History
- You can choose which conversations are used to train our models.
- Your chat history will no longer be stored or used to improve our models.
- You’ll have more control over how your data is used.
Why Did We Introduce This Feature?
We understand that you care about your data and want to know exactly how it’s being used. By introducing this feature, we’re giving you the tools to manage your data in a way that makes sense for you. It’s an easier way to control your data than our existing opt-out process.
Introducing the Bug Bounty Program
As we continue to develop and improve our technology, we recognize the importance of security and safety. That’s why we’re introducing the OpenAI Bug Bounty Program.
What is the Bug Bounty Program?
The Bug Bounty Program is a way for us to recognize and reward the valuable insights of security researchers who contribute to keeping our technology and company secure. We invite you to report vulnerabilities, bugs, or security flaws you discover in our systems.
How Does it Work?
- You’ll be part of a community that’s helping to make our technology safer.
- You’ll have the opportunity to earn rewards for reporting vulnerabilities.
- You’ll play a crucial role in making our technology more secure.
Our Approach to AI Safety
At OpenAI, we’re committed to developing safe and advanced AI. Before releasing any new system, we conduct rigorous testing, engage external experts for feedback, work to improve the model’s behavior with techniques like reinforcement learning with human feedback, and build broad safety and monitoring systems.
Why is AI Safety Important?
We believe that powerful AI systems should be subject to rigorous safety evaluations. That’s why we’re actively engaging with governments on the best form of regulation could take.
ChatGPT Plugins
We’ve implemented initial support for plugins in ChatGPT. Plugins are tools designed specifically for language models with safety as a core principle, and help ChatGPT access up-to-date information, run computations, or use third-party services.
What Are Plugins?
Plugins are an exciting new feature that will allow you to access more functionality within ChatGPT. They’re designed to work safely and securely, and we’ll be gradually rolling out plugins so we can study their real-world use, impact, and safety and alignment challenges.
The Benefits of Plugins
- You’ll have access to more tools and features within ChatGPT.
- You’ll be able to run computations or use third-party services securely.
- You’ll help us improve our technology and make it safer for everyone.
Conclusion
At OpenAI, we’re committed to transparency and giving you the tools to manage your data. With these new features, you have more control over how your data is used and can choose which conversations are used to train our models. We hope that this provides an easier way to manage your data than our existing opt-out process.
